I can confirm that I can see previous searches from a different database in a form's Record Search dialog. Version: 24.2.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 2902ab24ecc5ffbf4907ea83b2028508b9de6364 CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: es-MX (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded As a comparison, the Find and Replace dialog in Calc and Writer only saves searches per session. Close and reopen LO, the list is cleared. Maybe instead of adding a way to clear the search, it should just do like Calc and Writer and not save anything between sessions? Although there is a request to go the opposite way and make Find and Replace _remember_ searched terms between sessions: Bug 122311 So a design decision should be consistent across these dialogs. In my opinion, if search terms as saved, there should absolutely be an option to clear the list. And possibly, a setting to opt into it. (Thinking of shared computers on which one user might not like discovering that another user is able to see logged search terms they have used previously.)
